I had read most of these short stories before, but many were new to me, including Curran‘s point of view. Very nice compilation ( ) This collection of five Ilona Andrews stories was fun. There are three set in the Kate Daniels world, but only two of those with characters I know. The other one, Retribution Clause, set in post-Shift Philadelphia, was good, though, and has a neat connection to Kate's world. I loved the idea of an insurance policy with a retribution clause in case of death by foul play. Of Swine and Roses and Grace of Small Magics were different settings and new characters to me. The first was sweet, if a little predictable, and the second was only OK. It was the most romancy of the bunch. I don't have a problem with romance, but this one felt rushed. Ilona Andrews fans won't want to miss this collection. When I saw here on BookLikes that Sweep with Me was out, I went to Ilona Andrew's website to find out more, and noticed the release of a new anthology, published by Subterranean Press. Yes please! This is a compilation of the short stories Ilona Andrews has written, all previously published elsewhere, and for the first time in print, all the Curren POV's Gordon Andrews has written and posted on their website. Interspersed are 3? full color illustrations. It's a nice book - not the most impressive I've seen put out by Subterranean, but a good solid book. I'd read some of the stories before, but enough of them were new to me to make me appreciate having bought it. My only gripe with the book is with the Curran POVs. As a character, these stories don't always flatter Curran, but that's trivial. What is really disappointing, though, is the poor copy-editing of the Curran stories. On the website, they're clear to state that the stories were written for fun, not edited, yada yada. And that's totally understandable. But I'd have though when it comes to publishing a limited release, numbered, signed, illustrated edition, the publisher, if not the authors themselves, would have wanted to take the time and make the effort to correct, at the very least, the most glaring omissions and errors (lots of the, a, an articles missing, or misplaced). Ah well, a good collection that might have been great, but still welcome on my shelves. Ilona Andrews is one of my favorite authors and the Kate Daniels series is my favorite of all the books that the husband/wife duo write. The writing style is fast paced and engaging and the characters are completely believable despite the fantastical elements that surround all the books. These books are a must read for me and I eagerly devour them and count the months until the next one arrives. I love that despite the occult and romance leanings of these books there is still a generous dose of humor. I highly recommend the Kate Daniels series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
